The geochemistry of carbonate diagenesis: The past, present and future
Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes (δ18O and δ13C values) and trace elements have been
applied to the study of diagenesis of carbonate rocks for over 50 years. As valuable as these …

Speleothem trace element signatures: A hydrologic geochemical study of modern cave dripwaters and farmed calcite
Trace element variations in ancient cave speleothems are often interpreted as indicators of
changes in paleo-rainfall and hydrologic conditions. However, these records are difficult to …
